About Remoltra Remote Ultrasound System 원격 초음파 시스템

Remoltra는 병원에 갈 수 없는 고령 환자와 장애 환자를 위해 설계된 원격 컬러 도플러 초음파 시스템입니다. 이 시스템은 병원에 설치되는 영상 장치와 환자에게 배송되는 소형 가정용 장치로 구성됩니다. 환자는 누운 상태에서 가정용 장치를 상체 위에 올려놓습니다. 사물인터넷 기술이 두 장치를 연결하므로, 의사는 포스 피드백 펜을 움직여 프로브를 잡고 있는 로봇 팔을 조작할 수 있습니다. 피부 저항 데이터가 펜으로 다시 전달되어 원거리에서도 압력을 판단할 수 있습니다.

Unique Properties: Remoltra color doppler ultrasound diagnostic system is meant to solve the problem when the aged and the disabled can not go to the hospital and the doctor can not visit home, by sending a domestic testing device to the patient's home. Through IoT technology, the doctor can operate the imaging device in the hospital to real-time control the probe on the home device that covers the patient, to conduct a professional test and make precise diagnosis.
Dimensions & Packaging: Size of the hospital imaging device is 1300mm x 830mm x 710mm, the size of the home device is 498mm x 378mm x 500mm
Tags: Ultarsound imaging, Remote medical testing,Remote diagnosis, Home medical test, Force feedback
Production Technology: Color doppler ultrasound imaging technolgy is used to make diagnosis. IoT technology is used to connect the home device and the imaging device in the hospital. Force feedback technology is to let the doctor feel real resistence that probe on the home device sences to know when to stop pressing the patient's skin.
Design Challenge: The chanllange of this project is the real-time force feedback system. When the force-feedback pen on the imaging device is being operated, the prode on the home device, which is far away in the patient's home should better respond as quick as possible to minimize the delay. Through IoT technology it's possible to make real but the less delay, the better experience the patient would have.
Research: Special group of people like the aged or the disabled,are in serious needs of professional medical test and diagnosis done at their home. Therefore a series of research was conduct, investigating how they behave at home, and how the doctor usually conduct an ultrasonid diagnosis in the hospital. Then, all the ultrasond testing solution available on the market were searched and compared to find their dropbacks and advantages to solve the problem. After all those research, an concept of a testing system consists of two devices was come up with its unique service design and diagnostic process.
Inspiration: Chaos that happened in the world has made the world unsafe where people in serious needs of professional medical test and diagnosis, specially the aged and the disabled, are facing greater difficulties going out to the hospital. Or for a remote place where a doctor can't visit and provide on-site medical help. But they still need care and can't be forgotten.
Project Duration: This project started in 2022 March in Changsha and Qinhuangdao, China, and the technology inside is still developing. It needs famous design award to prove that it needs more resources to make this design real
Operation Flow: By online booking, the home device is sent to the patient's home. The patient needs to lie down the put the home device to cover the upper torso while the doctor in the hospital boots up the imaging device and connect the home device. Then with the touch screen showing the position of the probe, the doctor handholds the force feedback pen and move do different positions while the robotic arm does the same and transmit the skin resistence data back to the pen to let the doctor feel the force.
